Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.4K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles

3.8K
There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

105
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

207
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy

1.8K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.
Gray Matter and its Components
Central to the gray matter is...

Cranial and Spinal Meninges01:19

Cranial and Spinal Meninges

1.3K
The cranial and spinal meninges are complex protective structures surrounding the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord. These meninges consist of the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. They protect the CNS, provide structural support, and aid in circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...

Summary

Chiari type I malformation (CIM) is associated with altered Vidian canal (VC) dimensions and position. CIM patients exhibit changes in VC angle, length, and proximity to surrounding structures compared to controls.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Chiari type I malformation (CIM) is a complex neurological condition.
  • The Vidian canal (VC) is an important anatomical structure in the skull base.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the positional and dimensional characteristics of the Vidian canal (VC) in patients with Chiari type I malformation (CIM).

Main Methods:

  • A computed tomography (CT) study analyzed radiologic views of 49 CIM patients and 51 healthy controls.
  • Measurements included VC angle, length, and distances to adjacent bony landmarks.

Main Results:

  • CIM patients showed a greater VC angle and increased distance from the round foramen to the VC compared to controls.
  • VC length was smaller in CIM patients, with altered positioning relative to the sphenoid bone and medial pterygoid plate.

Conclusions:

  • Vidian canal (VC) size and position are significantly correlated with Chiari type I malformation (CIM).
  • CIM patients demonstrate a more medially positioned VC and partial protrusion into the bony sphenoidal sinus.
